A Bed without a Roof

Forty-five-year-old Mu Yun married a twenty-year-old girl named Su Wan. It was a marriage most outsiders didn’t believe in, and the age gap made him feel that the workers on the island were always watching them with strange looks. Su Wan was a treasure he had guarded for a long time—a wife so innocent that she made him feel unworthy. Tonight was their first night on the honeymoon island in Jamaica. The older husband carried a secret as he went to buy a pill, hoping to prove that he could still measure up to his young wife. On the island, she was left all alone—except for the towering, broad-shouldered native caretaker.
